An Interview With Travis Laidlaw, Director of “Dead House”
In the world of independent film, most indie storytellers are found wearing multiple hats on a single project; the need to keep overhead low while working with a small budget often calls for a filmmaker to be credited as a majority of their crew. For some, this is troubling and they’d prefer to pass the torch to focus their efforts elsewhere, and for others, like Toronto-based director Travis Laidlaw, being the moving part through the pipeline of a short film production is a rewarding experience.

An Interview With Adam Kirkey, Director of the Short Horror Film “Getting Away”
In a world of technology, most individuals use it to better their lives and advance our existence; others choose to utilize it for a more sinister agenda. Director Adam Kirkey, owner of Slinger Pictures, works with technology on the daily, whether it be for virtual tours, real estate and other photography, music videos and film, cinematography, visual effects and motion graphics. For someone that spends a hefty amount of time around our modern day, yet futuristic, tools, it is no shock that his latest short film, “Getting Away”, dips into the exploration of what may play out if a person were to use tech for all the wrong reasons.
